Help Send Local Children to Summer Camp

In 2025, our family made a simple decision that turned into something much bigger.

We brought our niece from Mississippi to Florida so she could spend the summer with us and attend summer camp alongside our children. Next Level Marine proudly covered most of her camp expenses, while our family paid the remaining costs.

Seeing the impact that experience had on her (and us, being able to offer this) made us ask an important question:

What if we could help other children have the same opportunity?

What if we could give local kids—children who might never otherwise have the chance—the opportunity to attend summer camp, make new friends, learn valuable life skills, and create memories that will last a lifetime?

At Next Level Marine, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the adventure, friendships, and life lessons that summer camp can provide.

As a family-owned business serving Manatee County and the surrounding communities, we've always believed in giving back. Each year, we sponsor a local child/children by helping cover the cost of attending summer camp, giving them the chance to build confidence, develop new skills, and create memories that can last a lifetime.

Unfortunately, many families face financial challenges that make summer camp out of reach. That's why we've created this fundraiser—to help provide more children with opportunities they might not otherwise have.

Every donation, no matter the amount, goes toward helping local children attend summer camp by assisting with registration fees, camp expenses, supplies, and other approved costs.

Michael at Next Level Marine proudly donates a portion of the company's annual earnings to help make summer camp possible for local children. Ashley joins the effort by organizing community bake sales, offering haircuts to locals as well as photography services throughout the year, with all funds raised through these activities helping send more kids to camp and create memories that last a lifetime

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in a child's life and give them a summer they'll never forget. If you'd like more information before donating, please reach out anytime.

If you know a child or family that could benefit from this Sponsorship please help us fund their Summer Camp, share this cause on social media to let more people know about the cause, or even apply directly on our site .

Every dollar raised goes toward the Summer Camp of their choice! We do this for the kids, having a safe place to grow and learn during the Summer is so important for development and creates memories that will last these kids the rest of their lives.

Thank you for supporting our mission and helping us invest in the next generation.

OUR VISION

The Summer Camp Sponsorship Program began as a family initiative through Next Level Marine LLC. As community support grows, our long-term goal is to explore establishing an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to helping local children access summer camp opportunities and other youth development programs.

For now, we remain focused on building the program, serving local families, and creating meaningful opportunities for children in our community.
